I thought it deserved a lot more, but then again I thought Glenn Stewarts on Anasta deserved a lot more. At least the judiciary is consistant.

5 weeks is absolutely pathetic. You can't possibly think that compassion over his dead brother didn't have anything to do with this.

Who would have thought you'd be whining.

IMO the 5 week suspension seems light but as stated earlier consistent. I was under the impression fans wanted consistency, or is it only when it suits ?

Maybe the to move on.

5 weeks is plenty and if he had broken his jaw or what ever then sure 6 - 10 would have been justified.

Hopefully this is a lesson for him and Price who should have given him more time away from the game in the first place.

Anyone even half human would disagree with your earlier statement

He forearmed a player in the face you genius. JT didn't do anything to his brother. If he is emotionally incapable of controlling himself, he shouldn't be playing Football.

Tell that to Tony Williams who's serving a 7 week suspension for a tackle where there was no intent and the player was no injured. IMO Prior deserves a more substantial suspension than Williams. Taking into account Williams would have got 5 weeks but also got 2 weeks loading, 6-8 weeks is probably about right.

For once I agree with you. Dave Taylor got 4 or was it 5 weeks last season in a completely accidental tackle that caused him to miss Origin.

This plodder aimed for Thurston's head with his elbow, connected etc and gets 5.
